18th Century Dutch Colonial Rosewood Chest W/ Brass Mounts

About the Item

Striking mid-18th century Dutch Colonial chest, handcrafted in colonial Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) during the height of the Spice Trade. Built from solid rosewood and adorned with original brass and copper mounts, this piece carries the weight, patina, and presence of centuries. It stands on four hand-carved feet and opens to a spacious interior storage compartment, with two functional drawers along the bottom for added utility.

A bold and beautifully aged piece, rich in history and showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. - Origin: Colonial Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka); Sourced in Provence, France - Dimensions: W 37" x D 16.25" x H 26.25" - Condition: In good antique condition, structurally restored with age-appropriate wear including minor surface scratches and historic repairs consistent with its age and use.
